Answer:

C.ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i.e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.

Anatom that has lewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

a negative ion, and an isotope.

Explanation:

The perfect atom consists of an equal balance in all 3. If the neutrons are not even with the protons, it is an isotope since it is like another version of the so called (but not actually) 'perfect' atom. If there is more electrons, the charge is negative, making it an ion.

At what temperature are the liquid and the vapour of Bromine in equilibrium (e.g. boiling point)?

irina [24]

Explanation:

Boiling point is defined as the point at which liquid state and vapor state of a substance are existing in equilibrium.

Equilibrium is defined as the state in which rate of forward and rate of backward reaction are equal to each other.

For example, $Br(l) \rightleftharpoons Br(g)$

So, when we boil bromine which is present in liquid state then at the boiling point its vapors will exist in equilibrium. And unless all the liquid state of bromine will not convert into vapors its temperature will not change.

Therefore, we can conclude that at boiling point the liquid and the vapur of Bromine are in equilibrium.
